44. The
5
Whys
Reasons
Why
You
Should
Write
SEO
Copy
1. Because
you
want
people
to
find
your
stuff
when
they
don’t
even
know
they
are
looking
for
it.
(In
the
real
world,
you
make
sure
the
book
is
in
stock.)
2. Because
the
copy
needs
to
be
a
good
salesperson.
(The
online
sales
funnel
goes
like
this:
you
like
it,
buy
it,
review
it,
recommend
it,
find
more
like
it.)
3. Because
you
want
to
teach
fans
how
to
best
pitch
their
friends.
(1,000
songs
in
your
pocket.)
4. Because
you
don’t
want
to
disappoint
people
who
are
looking
for
it:
• Bookseller
doing
price
check.
Producer
scou/ng
for
author
interview.
Fan
who
wants
to
pre-‐order.
Reviewer
who
wants
an
image.
Person
who
wants
to
recommend.
Author.
Agent.
Just
checking.
5. Because
you
want
to
stack
the
deck.
